The name gives it away–

Romanesque architecture is based on Roman architectural elements. It is the rounded Roman arch that is the literal basis for structures built in this style.

Key Ideas

  • Romanesque is a revitalization of large-scale architecture and sculpture because of Pilgrimages.
  • Churches develop their apse to accommodate large crowds of pilgrims (larger naves, double aisles, radiating chapels)
  • Church portal sculptures stress themes of the Last Judgement and the need for salvation.
  • Manuscript painting and weaving flourish as art forms.
